New to zed ownership

[Mega]

Hi All.

 

Just bought a nov 2003 350z GT in sunset orange:

 

 

 

firstly: Don't suppose it's anyone on here?

 

Secondly: The exhaust isn't standard, right? Any suggestions on what system it might be? From the service history it looks like the mid pipe was replaced by Nissan (I guess just rust) and at the same time I'd imagine the owner had this back box fitted.

 

 

Anyway. This is my first zed and my first owned Nissan. I've played in a 100nx before (the wierd little baby one with the gull roof). But it's fair to say this is my first 'proper' nissan.

 

Last question: Could anyone recommend some 8J 17" alloys? I've got a set of winter tyres that I ran on my old BM which I'd like to get fitted.. But haven't even gotten as far as researching the PCD yet letalone the offset, what options I have etc. I'd guess due to the caliper I might need to run a spacer to get an 8J wheel? Or? Let me know gents.

 

Cheers all! Go easy on me, I'm new to these parts...

I'd get some JDM 17's. You'll pick some up pretty cheaply

I've read the reviews. Everyone seemed to say steer clear of Steve and deal with Sean. Well as of late 09 there is no Steve.. And to be fair Sean has cone acids very well throughout the process thus far

 

Time will tell though... And let's keep this topic about the car :)

 

I'll post up my review of s2000-4u in due course...

 

Cheers

I've looked on the bay for some JDM 17s and come up blank.. Might not know what I'm searching for though? Any ideas ?

 

Cheers

Haha topic stealer

 

I'd personally say with a 3.5 V6 that premium is essential but run on both if you're not sure and see if you notice the difference

97+ is what the car is ment to run on,if you dont ur power will be less and a small chance u will wreck ur engine. Its not a cheap car to run. But it is fun =)

1057 insurance annually... Better than I was expecting!

 

I'll call the multi car lot in a week or so and see what they want to swap the cars over, I've only run a month of my policy on the BM so far so who knows..
